Green Beret died after being put in choke hold by Navy SEAL| Big News Network

Seventeen months after a Green Beret died in unusual circumstances in Mali, the U.S. Department of Defense is no closer to disclosing the circumstances of his death or whether charges should be laid against any individual or individuals.

Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar was killed at a house he shared with two U.S. Navy SEALS and two Marine Raiders, who were part of the same small joint special operations unit attached to the U.S. Embassy in Bamako, the Mali capital.

The house where the five lived was provided by the embassy.

What is known is that Sgt. Melgar died when put in a choke hold by one of the Navy SEALS.
